WHO I AM

My name is Emmanuel Ofori, or eMotivates as some of you may know me. Growing up, I wanted to go into law enforcement because I thought a career in that field would position me to be able to help many people. However, after graduating college in 2008, I worked as a personal trainer, where I realized the power of being a coach and motivator. I quickly realized that this was the career path for me. During this time, one of my clients asked me to speak to her students and share my story. Since then, I’ve spoken in numerous schools and colleges on various topics.

With my social media presence, I have created a unique style of motivational messages which have had an impact on thousands of people in several different countries across the world. Drawing from my own personal experiences (being born in Sierra Leon and coming to Canada at a young age, growing up in co-operative housing, my journey in the fitness industry, and overcoming various obstacles) has allowed me to convey dynamic and inspiring messages that many people relate to.
